well, my name is kate randall, i'm a threat analyst at the fbi. in my role i handle insider threats and provide analytical assistance to active fbi insider threat investigations. i also spearhead our indicator development program. within that program we try to grasp the extent of the insider threat problem by breaking down the critical components, conducting research and applying advance detection techniques against our data sets. i'll have to preface my talk by saying anything i'm about to say is my personal and professional opinion that's based off of my firsthand experience working this issue within the bureau. it doesn't necessarily reflect what the fbi's insider threat program is or isn't doing. it also doesn't reflect any official policy or position of doj, fbi or the u.s. government. so if you disagree with anything that i'm about to say, don't hold that against the fbi. and likewise, if you are angry at the fbi for any number of reasons, please don't hold that against me.
